Preparing your Presentation

Please prepare your presentation in 16:9 format (screen are in format ratio 16:9), the traditional 4:3 presentation format will be also accepted, and you can use it. However, such a presentation may not look good on larger screens.
We recommend you save your PowerPoint presentation using PPT(X) format.

Images / Videos

JPG is the most frequently used format and preffered format.
GIF, TIF, BMP and PNG are also accepted.
To display images in a good quality during presentation, a resolution of up to 250 dpi is sufficient. Higher image resolution only increases the file size and does not make the image look sharper on the screen. Please compress the images in your presentation to the recommended resolution.
If your presentation contains a video, please come to the Spekaers Ready Room earlier so that we can test whether your video format is compatible with our software and whether the video has been inserted correctly.
